Lisa Ingram hails from the North West of England but now lives in Spain. She is a great friend and supporter of Charl del Rio, who has just launched her association 112 Carlota Galgos, with the main intention of educating the young Spanish that animals are sentient being and should be respected and cared for.
As the first fundraiser for the association, Lisa has volunteered to jump out of a plane! Here’s what the Liverpool Echo newspaper wrote.
Some of you may remember Shadow, a little podenco with Sofia El Refugio Escuela in Seville, looking for a forever home. He looked so much like a male version of my little Podenca Andaluz Bebe, who was rescued injured on a Seville motorway. Have a look at the pictures on this link of Shadow in his forever home, plus Leela and Esther, a couple more galgos who have also found paradise in homes outside Spain.
July, and still the galgos are abandoned and loose. This one is at Irma Mykonos Road, between Lebrija and El Cuerva, Seville. She has a malformed front leg but can still walk, and her teeth are in a terrible state. Please help us before the gitanos take her for hunting again.

Some months ago, a lot of photos of galgos in Mairena were circulating on the Internet, including Galgo News. The information I had been given was that this was a killing station. It has since come to light that Mairena is in fact a perrera, ‘Protectora de Animales Y Plantas de Sevilla, which has contracts with city councils of cities and villages in the area, to retrieve abandoned dogs from the streets. Hunters also take their dogs there when hunting has finished.
This galga (who has been named Linda) gave birth to 10 puppies a couple of days ago, and all of them have been taken to Mairena. What sick person can do this. Look at the conditions in which she lies exhausted.
